He describes  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe migration from Southeast Europe exclusvely as a mass exodus of poorly  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\teducated Bulgarians and Romanians. That a significant proportion of immigrants he  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcites, 27,242 Bulgarians and Romanians during the months of January and  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFebruary, could include seasonal workers and professionals, it is not  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdiscussed. Also the warning about the \u201crising costs of poverty immigration\u201d is  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnot new, as it is fiercely debated since the beginning of this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Adeoso (2013) spoke with  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAdam Strauss, a German Sinto and a founding member of the Central Council of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGerman Sinti and Roma. Strauss has won several awards for his work against  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tracism and for the integration of Rroma. However, against these official honours,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe social reality weights in, a reality which is still pervaded by a great  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmany negative experiences: \u201cIt has been 70 years since the Nazi era is over and  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t68 percent of the people, according to a Emnid survey, want no contact with us.  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf someone says, \u201cYou are ALSO people\u201d, it is already clear on what kind of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tplace we stand. [&#8230;] We have stood alone in the yard at school during recess,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnobody has played with us, and I experienced the same situation today with my  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgranddaughter. She also stands alone in the playground, no one plays with her,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tshe eats her bread during the break alone, sitting in the corner, just like us &#8211;  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twith us no one had contact either. This is the worst [&#8230;] \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Beer (2013) spoke with  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoman Franz, chairman of the Association of Roma and Sinti in North  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRhine-Westphalia. Franz tries to spread a counter perspective to the usual arguments  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tabout poverty immigration from Eastern Europe. One cannot always poke about the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tintegration willingness of immigrants; one also needs to create the necessary  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstructures so that they can integrate. One should also attempt to present a  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmore differentiated view on the reasons behind migration. Portraying migration solely  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tas an economic one, simplifies the situation too much: \u201cNobody likes to leave  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\this home. Many Rroma in Eastern Europe live in incredibly difficult conditions.  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf they are allowed to send their children to school at all, then they are  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpelted with stones. They are there fair game. It is imperative that our head of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstate engages himself in countries such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic or  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSlovakia, that Rroma are not forced out in this way\u201d. With this he comes to a  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmuch too little discussed topic: What do political analyses say about the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsocio-political situation of a country and what are the actual experiences of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tlocal people? According to most countries official analyses, there is no discrimination  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tagainst Rroma in South-eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adeoso, Marie-Sophie  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(2013) \u201eEs ist mir sehr wichtig, dass ich ein Sinto bin\u201c In: <em style=\"font-family: Arial; \">Frankurter Rundschau online<\/em> vom  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t22.7.2013.<\/li>\n<li>Beer, Achim (2013)  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoma-Verbandschef fordert Quartiere und Sprachkurse.
